Hello Chang'an Chapter 645

As dawn approached, people were released one after another from the cells in Dali Temple, Jingya and other places.

Before Li Suining broke through the city, the imperial army arrested literati and common people everywhere in the city, and almost all the prison cells were filled. At this moment they were suddenly released, and most people didn't know what happened.

Previously imprisoned in a cell in Dali Temple, they had put their ears against the wall and tried to distinguish what was going on outside, but they could only hear tiny, chaotic sounds. The only thing that was certain was the sound of screaming and fighting... They subconsciously just It's Li Yin's people who are killing people.

They yelled and cursed in the cell and clamored to go out. About noon, a jailer came in a hurry and whispered to them through the cell bars: Don't be impulsive and noisy anymore. The princess has entered the capital! There is a fight going on in the city right now! The army has gone to the imperial city!

Everyone was shocked, but it was difficult to completely believe what the jailer said - hadn't the princess died in Beidi? How could he suddenly appear in Gyeonggi!

They asked the jailer for details, but the jailer couldn't give a specific answer. When the killing was fierce outside, the Dali Temple's Yamen was closed tightly, and no one dared to go out to inquire about the news at this moment.

The people in the prison were even more unconvinced. It was not until dark that the noise in the cell finally showed signs of weakening. After a whole day of tossing like this, no one was left hungry.

Someone asked the jailer for food, and the jailer was very talkative. Soon he led a few people, carrying several rice buckets filled with hot salty porridge and a stack of large porcelain bowls, and served everyone through the prison bars. .

He was so hungry that he couldn't care less about being picky. A stalwart scholar wearing a long robe and nearly eight feet tall stretched out the empty bowl and asked for another bowl with a Qilu accent.

The jailer added a few more spoonfuls to him and murmured: "Your appetite is comparable to that of the Chang family husband..."

When the scholar heard this sentence, he couldn't help but ask: "Which Chang family husband?" 】

The jailer didn't bother to talk to him in detail, and went to the front to get food for others.

After dividing the meal, the jailer left, and after about an hour, he left again. This time, his tone became more determined, and his excitement was beyond words: [I have found out clearly, it is indeed Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess who has entered the capital! 】

He also reassured everyone that Li Yin and his remnants were being hunted outside at the moment, and they would be released later when the situation was stable.

The cell became noisy, and the man who had planned to eat and sleep suddenly became more energetic. He grabbed the cell bars with his hands and asked the jailer what happened.

The jailer happily told them the news he had heard, including the grand spectacle of countless people in the city voluntarily clearing the way for the princess.

Everyone was so excited and jealous after hearing this that they were tearing the prison bars apart - if they had not been caught here, they would have been the ones to clear the way for the princess!

It was not until dawn that news came that Li Yin had been captured by the concubine herself, and a Xuanjia army officially took over Dali Temple.

The jailer, whose voice had become hoarse, followed him up the mountain and knelt down on the ground: "I am willing to be loyal to Your Highness!"

I feel ashamed to say it, but he has said similar words frequently in the past two years. When Bian Jun entered the city, when Li Yin entered the city...he knelt down to express his loyalty like this.

He was just a cowardly nobody, with a whole family behind him. He couldn't do anything to fight with his life, and he couldn't compare to those passionate scribes who were imprisoned.

The jailer buried his head very low, but privately speaking, he was the most willing to kneel this time.

The Crown Princess calmed down the chaos everywhere, and he greatly admired such people, just like the former Crown Prince. And he only found out today that the former prince was actually a woman, the same woman as the crown princess.

The jailer raised his ears and listened, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the group of black armor soldiers had no intention of attacking.

Afterwards, he was ordered to open the cell door.

The literati poured out of Dali Temple.

There were black-armored soldiers guarding both the front and back doors. The sky was not yet completely bright, and the soldiers seemed to be stained with the damp smell of blood, making people unconsciously fearful.

Someone came towards them, but it was two women.

Walking in front was Hao Huan. She was wearing armor and had her hair removed. Her tightly tied bun was a little messy, but it added to her heroic spirit.

Half a step behind her was Wu Chunbai. She followed Li Suining from Luoyang and had been waiting for news among the army outside the city. She only entered the city at night and walked around to calm people's hearts.

Some literati recognized Wu Chunbai. She used to be the most talented woman in the capital. She often attended flower banquets and poetry gatherings, which was impressive. However, no one expected that this talented girl from the boudoir would appear with the army of the crown princess.

Wu Chunbai saluted the group of literati and said: "Her Royal Highness, just like all of you who would rather put life and death aside and seek justice for the common people, the day of great prosperity is not far away -"

"I am grateful for your help in today's battle. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of Your Highness."

Looking at the woman who was saluting again, and hearing the words "Thank you on behalf of His Highness," everyone was either flattered, or felt that they couldn't bear it, but most of them were touched beyond words.

They experienced a life and death today and saw the collapse of a high-rise building. They were shocked, sad and angry, but also despairing.

And in the midst of this despair, I suddenly heard that the person who saved the people had returned from Beidi, turned the tide, and saved them from life and death in prison, but instead thanked them... This state of mind cannot be understood and explained by those who have not experienced it personally.

For the rest of their lives, they will probably never forget this thank you, this "Thank you for your help."

They bowed deeply to Wu Chunbai in return, and some shed tears.

After leaving Dali Temple, the long street was extremely quiet and empty.

In the chaos during the day, some literati's clothes were torn, their buns were scattered, and their shoes were missing. At this time, running barefoot did not feel that it was a loss of dignity.

Today's situation is established. Once the battle of Beidi is won, no one can take away their dignity.

Therefore, even though they were disheveled at this moment, they felt relaxed and open-minded. Looking around in tears, they couldn't help shouting hoarsely: "-The sky will not perish and the prosperity will be great!"

Under the foggy blue sky, some people knelt on the long street, kowtowing solemnly to the heaven and earth and the blood stains left between them.

They firmly believe that these bloodstains will eventually become the soil for a just and prosperous age.

The door of Dengtai Tower finally opened, and the literati rushed out.

Meng Lie watched the excited scholars leave and asked the shopkeeper to prepare wine.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but be surprised. His boss rarely drank alcohol, and it was so early in the morning, so he was about to drink?

Meng Lie turned around and walked toward the building, smiling and saying, "Let's celebrate today."

The shopkeeper responded with a busy smile and followed him in.

At the same time, outside the Penal Department Yamen, Qiao Yubai and a group of prison guards finally waited until Qiao Yang was released.

"Dad!" Qiao Yubai stepped forward with tears in his eyes: "Are you okay?"

When they parted outside the Imperial Academy, he really thought he was going to lose his father.

Qiao Yubai was still scared at this time.

After the Imperial Guards took Qiao Yang away from the Imperial Academy, the commander of the Imperial Guards witnessed the almost uncontrollable chaos in the city on the road. The overly turbulent public sentiment made him unavoidably shaken in two ways -

The commander thought about it and finally decided to send Qiao Yang to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment alone to wait for the new emperor's subsequent ruling.

However, the "new emperor" would not have time to give orders in the future, or even become the real new emperor in the future. Instead, the news of the imperial concubine's army entering Beijing was the first to come.

It was hard for Qiao Yubai not to be afraid. If the army had not entered the city in time, even if his father was temporarily detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, he would never have survived for more than half a month.

Ning Ning disrupted their plan, but also saved them.

Qiao Yubai choked up and said, "Dad, Ning Ning is back..."

"I already know, I know..." Qiao Yang interrupted her son and suddenly raised her legs to leave.

Before he could say a few words, Qiao Yubai hurriedly chased after him: "Dad!"

But she heard her father say without looking back: "Don't follow me!" Qiao Yang left her son behind and went straight to the inner palace.

Every avenue in the palace is heavily guarded.

Because Tang Xing had people guiding Qiao Yang, Qiao Yang was able to travel unimpeded.

After asking questions all the way and passing through palace gates one after another, Qiao Yang finally arrived outside the Elephant Garden.

At this time, the sky was white, and the woman in black robe was sitting on the stone steps outside the gate of the Elephant Garden.

On such an important day, she came to this remote place to meditate alone.

Just like before, after winning a battle, he always liked to be alone. It has never changed.

Seeing him coming, the young woman waved to him.

Tears were blurred, and Qiao Yang couldn't see her expression clearly.

Qiao Yang took a few steps forward. It was no longer possible to suppress her emotions. She lifted up her gown and bowed solemnly.

This is a reunion that does not require testing to confirm.

"Stop kneeling." The woman's voice sounded, and she seemed to pat the stone steps beside her: "Come and sit with me."

After a while, Qiao Yang was able to straighten up.

Qiao Yang finally sat down on the stone steps below Li Suining, wiped the tears from her eyes, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did Your Highness come to this remote place alone?"

"I vaguely remember that there is a jujube tree here." Li Suining looked to the left and said, "Come and take a look, it is indeed still there."

Qiao Yang followed her gaze and saw green weeds growing under the old jujube tree, and a white jade wine pot lying quietly among the grass.

Li Suining put his hands on the stone steps beside him and said, letting himself be a little lost in thought: "This time, I won very easily, and I feel like I can just sit back and enjoy the victory."

In this last battle, she was prepared for a protracted confrontation, but she didn't expect that after returning from Beidi, she would go straight to Gyeonggi and sit in this old place in just one day.

She said: "It's so easy because of Mr. Luo, teacher, you came here to plan for me, and you won this game for me."

Qiao Yang disagreed: "This is still your Highness's victory."

"This is the human heart." Qiao Yang said: "Since ancient times, the human heart has been the hardest to win."

This situation cannot be achieved by just a few of them. After that, tens of millions of people will create a network.

And how can the long process of winning this heart be said to be easy?

In these two lifetimes, has anything ever been easier for her?

If it can make her feel easier, and also make it easier for these suffering people, it will be a great honor for those who follow her.

There can't be only one hero in this world, otherwise it would be unfair to others and even more unfair to the hero.

Such injustice has happened once, and it cannot happen again.

"Helping Your Highness is also helping the common people." Qiao Yang said: "Only when Your Highness shares the same path with the common people will he be helped by the common people."

She is not only a fellow believer, but also a pioneer.

Therefore, only she can become the embodiment of the destiny of the people and the country.

Everything she got, even "sitting back and enjoying it" as she said, was what she deserved.

The morning breeze rustled the date leaves, making a rustling sound, and also carried the aroma of wine in the air farther away.

The fragrance of wine floats in the air, which is a memorial and a celebration.

When the morning sun rose, Qiao Yang lowered her body, rubbed her hands slowly, and said a little awkwardly: "I didn't know the truth before, and I offended His Highness many times. Please, Your Highness, please don't remember the faults of others..."

Li Suining blew the cool morning breeze and said casually: "Why did Third Dad say this?"

Qiao Yang's face showed fear and bitterness, and she hurriedly stood up and apologized repeatedly.

The morning sun was bright, and a long and ethereal elephant chirping sounded.

Qiao Yang hurriedly took the opportunity to flatter him: "Peace is coming soon. It's a good sign."

Li Suining slowly stood up and looked at the jug under the jujube tree again. After a while, his eyes gradually shifted away.

She will not let down her helpers, let alone herself. The symbol of peace and the unbreakable foundation will be opened in her hands.

The rising sun swept away the haze hidden in the corners of this imperial city inch by inch.

Throughout the capital, the elimination of Li Yin's remnants of his party was still in progress.

After three days, the situation in the capital was generally stable.

In the past three days, most of the clan members and officials have closed their doors at home to calm down. We cannot blame them for being useless. Although the ups and downs of official circles are normal, the ups and downs in the past few years are still too close and too extreme for normal people. .

Some members of the clan had just suppressed their shock and began to speculate on the temperament of the princess. Although she had the same surname as Li, she had never relied on the Li family. She had simply fought all the way here. Such a person made his fortune by killing people. , what kind of temperament must he have? She didn't even mention summoning them, which made people feel uncertain.

Li Suining didn't mean to leave them alone, but she didn't have time. She had too many things to take care of.

Song Xian and Tan Li are responsible for the handover arrangements for trivial matters in the city. Wu Chunbai and others are in charge of handover arrangements. Officials sent from Luoyang and Jiangdu are already on the way. Zhan Mian and others are still recovering from their injuries. The imperial concubine has sent many tonics and tonics. Drink hard.

Wei Shuyi returned to Zheng Guogong's mansion, which had been previously occupied by Bian Jun. The garden had been ruined and was only waiting for Zheng Guogong to take care of it after he returned to Beijing.

In the early morning of this day, Wei Shuyi entered the palace in a sedan. On the way, he passed an alley and the sedan was ordered to stop.

There was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old selling flowers at the entrance of the alley.

The little girl looked at the person coming out of the sedan chair and couldn't help but be stunned. She had never seen such a beautiful person who looked like a god.

Uncle Wei asked her the price with a smile, and it took the little girl a while to answer.

Wei Shuyi asked Changji to pay more silver.

Changji asked people to carry two baskets of flowers onto the carriage at the back, and then asked: "Why did you buy flowers for me?"

Wei Shuyi opened the sedan curtain and said, "Take him to the palace."

Changji suddenly realized that it was for the Crown Princess, but: "...are there any exotic flowers and plants in the royal garden in the palace?"

"But it's different." Wei Shuyi's voice fell together with the sedan curtain.

People dare to try to go out and sell flowers. Rather than telling her about it, it is better to show it to her.

On this day, Xiao Min also entered Beijing from outside the city and entered the palace to see the princess.

There were many palace people washing away the bloodstains on the palace road. Xiao Min stepped through the palace gates, and the corners of his boots and robes were splashed with water. This not only did not hinder his mood, but made him feel happy and peaceful, making him more energetic. (End of chapter)
